[QUOTE="Mtn Dawg, post: 2977569, member: 124083"] I think you both are actually saying the same thing from different perspectives. Gotta change the approach if you hope to win. Doing nothing because you haven’t ever won and leaving it up to providence may contain wisdom but it just isn’t the way most of us are wired. First of all, in Colorado the wolf initiative won by something like 50.49% to 49.51%. So in my reading that ain’t hopeless. Secondly, we will never reach the completely convinced anti and brainwashed rewilding crowd. We just need to talk to our neighbors and colleagues and their friends etc and help them understand the breadth of the issues. In this particular fight, the ranching community is not our enemy. Connect with the middle not the extremists. And for certain every single one of us needs to vote. The general public supports the right and logic of hunting. And the conservation ethic therein. Thirdly, the way the Colorado wolf initiative went down is the wolf advocates retained the services of attorneys to craft a piece of legislation that could withstand all the arguments and appeals and fights against that would be set upon it. It was a piece of legal brilliance(well maybe a slight exaggeration but it was good work) We are no longer a live and let live society. The speed at which these societal changes are occurring is really shocking. So we are just a bit behind the curve but I don’t think that means there is no hope. It may be heresy and hopefully is not a ban worthy thing to include on this forum , but Randy Newburg is as out in front of these issues as anyone I’ve found. Hunttalk.com has some really good podcasts and resources for us to listen to and think about. Its worth your while to listen and consider if you care about the future of hunting. Thank you and keep up the fight! [/QUOTE]
